Example

[0032] Referring now to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, first and second substrates 10, 20 are spaced apart from one another with a predetermined distance while facing one another, and cell regions are demarcated on the first and second substrates 10, 20 so that a plurality of unit cells 40 may be formed in the demarcated cell regions. The unit cell 40 is capable of functioning as a dye-sensitized solar cell with first and second electrodes 31, 32, a dye 34, and an electrolyte 36.

[0033] In this embodiment, a sealant 30 is disposed between the first and the second substrates 10, 20 while surrounding the respective unit cells 40 to seal the first and the second substrates 10, 20 to one another, and demarcate the regions for the respective unit cells 40. The sealant 30 may have various shapes in various embodiments.

[0034] The sealant 30 may be formed from different material, such as a thermoplastic polymer film, such as surlyn™. The thermoplastic polymer film is disposed between the two substrate...

Abstract

A high capacity dye-sensitized solar cell module where a plurality of unit cells are simultaneously formed at a substrate in a simplified manner with increased light absorption efficiency. The dye-sensitized solar cell module includes first and second conductive substrates facing one another with regions for a plurality of unit cells. First and second electrodes are formed on the first or the second substrate such that the first and the second electrodes face one another at the respective unit cells. A dye is adsorbed at the first electrode. The space between the first and the second substrates at the respective unit cells is filled with an electrolyte. Insulation regions are formed on at least one of the first and the second substrates between a pair of unit cells neighboring to one another. The pattern of insulation regions, on one or both of the substrates, results in the unit cells being coupled in series, in parallel, or in a combination manner.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION [0001] This application claims priority to and the benefit of Korean Patent Application No. 10-2004-0028155 filed on Apr. 23, 2004 in the Korean Intellectual Property Office, the entire content of which is incorporated herein by reference. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] 1. Field of the Invention [0003] The present invention relates to dye-sensitized solar cell modules, and in particular, to a dye-sensitized solar cell module which has a simple structure, and involves simplified processing steps and enhanced capacity. [0004] 2. Description of Related Art [0005] Generally, the dye-sensitized solar cell module has a first substrate with a first electrode based on a dye-adsorbed metallic oxide, and a second substrate with a second electrode spaced apart from the first substrate while facing it. An electrolyte is injected between the first and the second substrates. [0006] According to the basic principles of the dye-sensitized solar cells, when...
